[Intro]
D Em A7 D
[Verse 1]
D Em A7
Lord if you will, lend me your ear
D F#m G
It seems like this old world's beyond repair
D A
But tell me does it have to be
D Em A7
Can we summon the will, come up with the faith
D F#m G
There are those who say we haven't got a prayer
D A
Nor have we the strength to bear
D Em A7 D
This impossible world
[Verse 2]
D Em A7
Death if you will, give me your hand
D F#m G
For there are some things I'll never understand
D A
Could someone explain to me
D Em A7
How many lives, how many tears
D F#m G
Must fall before we learn we're going nowhere
D A
Not unless we learn to share
D
This impossible world
[Chorus]
G D
Is that a tear in the eye of the storm
G D
A hint of fear in the relative calm
G D Em A
It appears all attempts to feel so safe and warm are all in vain, oh
[Verse 3]
D Em A7
When I was a child I opened my eyes
D F#m G
And beheld a world of possibility
D A
Though now all there seems to be
D
Is an impossible world
[Solo]
D Em A7 D F#m G D A D
[Chorus]
G D
Still there's a song that I sing in my heart
G D
There's a light that I see in the dark
G D Em A
And a voice that has softly whispered to my soul do not be afraid
[Verse 4]
D Em A7
Lord If you will, lend me your ear
D F#m G
It seems like this old world's beyond repair
D A
Oh tell me does it have to be
D
Such an impossible world
[Outro]
Em A7 D (x3)
